Black Panther UHD Blu

Good PQ, middle of the road Marvel flick. Not sure why all the hype other than it was good for Hollywood.

 

[Matt Hough]

Watching musicals for course work: Yankee Doodle Dandy and Meet Me in St. Louis, both magnificent examples of the musical at its best.

This afternoon I watched a movie that I had no idea even existed until recently, a movie version of a Lord Peter Wimsey mystery called Haunted Honeymoon. Robert Montgomery played Lord Peter and Constance Cummings was his wife. Excellent mystery with lots of droll comedy, too. I really enjoyed it. The only Wimsey mysteries I had ever seen were the ones from Britain shown here on PBS starring Ian Carmichael done in multi-parts. Nice to see a different interpretation though Ian was definitive, I think.

Last night I watched Three For The Show, early Jack Lemmon and late Betty Grable. I found the first ten minutes or so dire as the central joke made no sense. As the film went on, for me it got better and better and I really enjoyed it. Betty was visibly ten years older than Jack Lemmon who played her husband, and I felt she was hampered by those awful Jack Cole routines with arms all over the place. (I can't recall in any film a single Jack Cole routine I especially admire, not even that famous one in Gilda) It was also sad to see Betty being asked to sing and move in the way that Marilyn Monroe had adopted. Despite these drawbacks, I found Three For The Show very entertaining. The soundtrack on the DVD is excellent. I wonder if Sony will provide a high-definition master of this film to Twilight Time.

Tonight I'll watch A Lady Without Passport which has just arrived. I've only seen this film on TV and several decades ago! It'll be like watching a new film.

Looking for something to watch On Demand and picked 68 Kill last night. If you like violence, sex and comedy you should enjoy this film. Had Matthew Gray Gubler (from Criminal Minds) as the star.

Probably Ruby Gentry at some point today as I try to fit it in with my musical coursework.

 

[Toronto Argonauts]

I watched something today I had never seen all the way through, one of the World War II all-star studio revues, Paramount's Star Spangled Rhythm. It certainly can't hold a candle to either MGM's Thousands Cheer or Warners' Thank Your Lucky Stars. Bob Hope has dire stand-up material, and Crosby is only on hand for the finale "Old Glory." This is the movie that introduced the standard "That Old Black Magic" though I would have preferred if Bing had been given it to sing rather than Johnny Johnston. Nice to see Mary Martin and Dick Powell crooning to each other, and the famous trio with Paulette Goddard, Dorothy Lamour, and Veronica Lake is lots of fun. But other songs and sketches were sort of lame.

I'll be watching Pitfall from Noir Alley at lunchtime and then later today Guys and Dolls in preparation for my musicals class next week.

The 3D conversion of this movie is outstanding.

Liked it, a bit strange.

I have some TV from last night to catch up on (Instinct, Man in an Orange Shirt), and I believe my musical course work for today will be An AMerican IN Paris.

I'm currently viewing the Rocky box set. I'm on my 10th night trying to get through it [In-Laws were in town which slowed me down] but should be starting Rocky IV later tonight. I have the original set and an considering buying the Blu Ray set.

I also spend a little time with Netflix watching old TV show most mornings while I have breakfast. I'm about to finish up "That 70's Show" and will probably check out the new episodes of The Ranch next.

 

[Toronto Argonauts]

 

[Matt Hough]

Fitted somewhere in between my coursework, the Blu-ray of Phantom of the Opera (1943).

My step-daughter and I watched this last night in 3D and a 138 inch wide image. She's a big Alfred Hitchcock fan and really enjoyed it. She want's to have her boyfriend come over in a few months and watch it again.

This Blu ray is completely unwatchable on my Sony active system. There is so much ghosting and double image that it really doesn’t matter if you are watching it with glasses on or off!
My system is prone to occasional ghosting anyway, but nothing has ever matched the complete wretchedness of this disc. It is hard not to eject it and stomp on it!
